Michigan Tech Fights Back Against Sexual Assault: Responsible Relationship Days

Every two minutes, someone in the US is sexually assaulted, and every year there are more than 200,000 victims of sexual assault. To help inform the campus and community and fight sexual violence, Michigan Tech is holding a series of events—Responsible Relationship Days—Tuesday through Thursday, Sept. 20-22. The events are open to the public.

Everyone is invited to come and express themselves on the sidewalks. Free coffee coupons will be given to all participants

6 p.m.—SAVE Demo—Fisher Hall 101

Sexual Aggression and Violence Education (SAVE) members will share information about their group (and free pizza). They’ll also do skits and scenarios to help students stay safe while at Michigan Tech.

These events are being organized by Michigan Tech’s TERR (Tech Educating for Responsible Relationships) Committee, Dial Help Community Support and Outreach Center, Housing and Residential Life, Michigan Tech Athletics, and RAINN.
